They’re Back

The little lazuli buntings that is. I noticed the first one this morning.

Went into town to change Nat’s bandages and ran some errands while there. You know—the lumbar yard, the feed store (where I got the sorriest bird seed I have ever bought), the courthouse—those never ending errands.

Headed out to the garden when I got home with the new Mantis garden tiller. OK, there is certainly no need for me to lift weights or do any cardio workout tonight! That was a job—my arms will be sore tomorrow. I tilled some manure into the soil, picked rocks and just generally got beaten to death! The garden looks great now!

Planted my flowers into the containers until I ran out of potting soil—will have to pick up some more in town—I thought that huge Costco bag would have lasted all summer.

What’s up with the wind around here—very breezy today and cool again. Everywhere you go in town people are asking, “is spring ever going to get here?”

I agree about the weather, and I'M IN SAN DIEGO! Today it's still cool and breezy and I'd love a warm, calm day to just sit outside and enjoy. I guess I shouldn't complain, though. My weather has been nothing like yours. But I'm getting tired of jeans and sweatshirts.

About Me

Mike is a retired rancher/construction company owner. Janna is a retired registered nurse. We met almost 20 years ago and in spite of sounding corny, it was love at first sight. We have been truly blessed in our lives together.
We enjoy being outdoors with our little Schnauzer, Emmi.
Janna loves to quilt, cook, and read. Mike builds furniture, researches "stuff" on the computer and is a Sudoku pro. He is also the chief mechanic for all our older stuff such as the 1996 Country Coach motor home we now travel in! We love retirement!
